performance. Let it rest for about one hour to adjust
to a warmer temperature. Also, wipe any damp discs
off with a soft cloth.
Playback of discs may not be possible because of
disc characteristics, disc format, recorded application, playback environment, storage conditions, and
so on.
Firmly secure the iPod when driving. Do not let the

iPod fall onto the floor, where it may become jammed
under the brake or accelerator pedal.
About iPod settings
! When an iPod is connected, this unit changes the
EQ (equalizer) setting of the iPod to off in order to
optimize the acoustics. When you disconnect the
iPod, the EQ returns to the original setting.
! You cannot set Repeat to off on the iPod when
using this unit. Repeat is automatically changed
to All when the iPod is connected to this unit.
Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.

Read the precautions for discs before using them.
When using discs that can be printed on label surfaces, check the instructions and the warnings of the
discs. Depending on the discs, inserting and ejecting
may not be possible. Using such discs may result in
damage to this equipment.
Do not attach commercially available labels or other
materials to the discs.
! The discs may warp making the disc unplayable.
! The labels may come off during playback and prevent ejection of the discs, which may result in damage to the equipment.
USB storage device

Address any questions you have about your USB storage device to the manufacturer of the device.
Incompatible text saved on the iPod will not be displayed by the unit.
DualDiscs
DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable
CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for
video on the other.
Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be
possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can
lead to playback problems on this unit. In some
cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc manufacturer for more detailed information about
DualDiscs.
Connections via USB hub are not supported.

Do not connect anything other than a USB storage
device.
Firmly secure the USB storage device when driving.
Do not let the USB storage device fall onto the floor,
where it may become jammed under the brake or accelerator pedal.
Depending on the USB storage device, the following
problems may occur.
! Operations may vary.
! The storage device may not be recognized.
! Files may not be played back properly.
! The device may generate noise in the radio.
